All filings, registrations and recordings necessary or appropriate to create, preserve, protect and perfect the security interest granted by such Assignor to the Collateral Agent hereby in respect of all the Collateral have been accomplished or shall have been accomplished within 45 days of a new Trigger Event occurring after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date (or, in the case of Collateral constituting Excluded Unperfected Collateral, on the date on which such Collateral ceases to qualify as such in accordance with the definition of Excluded Unperfected Collateral) and the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement in and to all of the Collateral (other than Excluded Unperfected Collateral) constitutes, upon satisfaction of such filings, registrations and recordings, a perfected security interest therein superior and prior to the rights of all other Persons therein (other than any such rights pursuant to any Permitted Liens that have a priority as provided under applicable law) and subject to no other Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and is entitled to all the rights, priorities and benefits afforded by the Uniform Commercial Code or other relevant law as enacted in any relevant jurisdiction to perfected security interests.

2.6 Legal Names; Organizational Identification Number; Trade Names; Change of Name; etc. The exact legal name of each Assignor, and the organizational identification number (if any) of each Assignor, as of the date hereof, is listed on Annex C hereto for such Assignor. No Assignor has or operates in any jurisdiction under, or in the five years preceding the date hereof has had or has operated in any jurisdiction under, any trade names, fictitious names or other names except its legal name and such other trade or fictitious names as are listed on Annex C hereto for such Assignor.

No Assignor shall change its legal name or organizational identification number or assume or operate in any jurisdiction under any new trade, fictitious or other name or operate under any existing name in any additional jurisdiction until (i) it shall have given to the Collateral Agent not less than 15 days’ prior written notice of its intention so to do, clearly describing such new name and/or jurisdiction and, in the case of a new name, the jurisdictions in which such new name shall be used and providing such other information in connection therewith as the

Collateral Agent may reasonably request, (ii) with respect to such new name and/or jurisdiction, it shall have taken all action necessary, or in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, desirable to maintain the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected and in full force and effect and (iii) the Collateral Agent shall have received evidence that all other actions (including, without limitation, the payment of all filing fees and taxes, if any, payable in connection with such filings) have been taken, in order to perfect (and maintain the perfection and priority of) the security interest granted hereby. In addition, to the extent that any Assignor does not have an organizational identification number on the date hereof and later obtains one, such Assignor shall promptly thereafter notify the Collateral Agent of such organizational identification number and shall take all actions reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to the extent necessary to maintain the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby fully perfected and in full force and effect.

2.7 Recourse.

The jurisdiction of organization of each Assignor, and the type of organization of each Assignor, as of the date hereof, is listed on Annex I hereto for such Assignor. No Assignor shall change its jurisdiction of organization or its type of organization until (i) it shall have given to the Collateral Agent not less than 15 days’ prior written notice of intention so to do, clearly describing such new jurisdiction of organization and/or type of organization and providing such other information in connection therewith as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request and (ii) with respect to such new jurisdiction of organization and/or type of organization, it shall have taken all actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to maintain the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected and in full force and effect.

2.9 Collateral in the Possession of a Bailee. If any Inventory or other Goods (other than immaterial amounts of Inventory and Equipment) are at any time in the possession of a bailee, the respective Assignor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, if requested by the Collateral Agent, shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain an acknowledgment from such bailee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall act upon the instructions of the Collateral Agent, without the further consent of the respective Assignor. The Collateral Agent agrees with the Assignors that the Collateral Agent shall not give any such instructions unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by the respective Assignor with respect to any such bailee.

2.10 As-Extracted Collateral; Timber-to-be-Cut. As of the date hereof, no Unrestricted Assignor owns, or expects to acquire, any property which constitutes, or would constitute, As-Extracted Collateral or Timber-to-be-Cut. If at any time after the date hereof any Unrestricted Assignor owns, acquires or obtains rights to any As-Extracted Collateral or Timber-to-be-Cut, such Unrestricted Assignor shall furnish the Collateral Agent with prompt written

notice thereof (which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the As-Extracted Collateral and/or Timber-to-be-Cut and the locations thereof) and shall take all actions as may be deemed reasonably necessary or desirable by the Collateral Agent to perfect the security interest of the Collateral Agent therein.

ARTICLE III

SPECIAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING
RECEIVABLES; CONTRACT RIGHTS; INSTRUMENTS

3.1 Additional Representations and Warranties. As of the time when each of its Receivables arises, each Assignor shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such Receivable, and all material records, papers and documents relating thereto (if any) are genuine and in all material respects what they purport to be, and that all papers and documents (if any) relating thereto (i) will be the only original writings evidencing and embodying such obligation of the account debtor named therein (other than copies created for general accounting purposes) and (ii) will, to the knowledge of such Assignor, evidence true and valid obligations of the account debtor named therein.

3.2 Maintenance of Records. Each Assignor will keep and maintain at its own cost and expense satisfactory and complete records of its Receivables and Contracts, and such Assignor will make the same available to the Collateral Agent for inspection, at such Assignor’s own cost and expense, at any and all reasonable times (i.e., during normal business hours) and upon reasonable prior notice to such Assignor. If requested by the Collateral Agent while an Event of Default is in existence, such Assignor shall, at its own cost and expense, deliver all tangible evidence of its Receivables and Contract Rights (including, without limitation, copies of all documents evidencing the Receivables and all Contracts) and such books and records to the Collateral Agent or to its representatives (copies of which evidence and books and records may be retained by such Assignor). If the Collateral Agent so directs, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Assignor shall legend, in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the Receivables and Contracts, as well as books, records and documents of such Assignor evidencing or pertaining to such Receivables with an appropriate reference to the fact that such Receivables and Contracts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent and that the Collateral Agent has a security interest therein.

3.3 Modification of Terms; etc. No Assignor shall rescind or cancel any indebtedness evidenced by any Receivable or under any Contract, or modify any term thereof or make any adjustment with respect thereto, or extend or renew the same, or compromise or settle any material dispute, claim, suit or legal proceeding relating thereto, or sell any Receivable or Contract, or interest therein, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, except (i) as permitted by Section 3.4 hereof and (ii) in accordance with such Assignor’s reasonable business practices. Each Assignor will duly fulfill all obligations on its part to be fulfilled under or in connection with all material Receivables and Contracts and will do nothing to impair the rights of the Collateral Agent in the Receivables or Contracts.

3.4 Collection. Each Assignor shall endeavor in accordance with reasonable business practices to cause to be collected from the account debtor named in each of its Receivables or obligor under any Contract, as and when due (including, without limitation, amounts which are delinquent, such amounts to be collected in accordance with generally accepted lawful collection procedures) any and all amounts owing under or on account of such Receivable or Contract, and apply forthwith upon receipt thereof all such amounts as are so collected to the outstanding balance of such Receivable or under such Contract, except that, so long as no Event of Default is then in existence in respect of which the Collateral Agent has given notice that this exception is no longer applicable, any Assignor may allow in the ordinary course of business as adjustments to amounts owing under its Receivables and Contracts (i) an extension or renewal of the time or times of payment, or settlement for less than the total unpaid balance, which such Assignor finds appropriate in accordance with sound business judgment and (ii) a refund or credit due as a result of returned or damaged merchandise or improperly performed services. The reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) of collection, whether incurred by any Assignor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by such Assignor.

3.5 Direction to Account Debtors; etc. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Noticed Event of Default, and if the Collateral Agent so directs any Assignor, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Assignor agrees (x) to cause all payments on account of the Receivables and Contracts to be made directly to the Cash Collateral Account, (y) that the Collateral Agent may, at its option, directly notify the obligors with respect to any Receivables and/or under any Contracts to make payments with respect thereto as provided in preceding clause (x) and (z) that the Collateral Agent may enforce collection of any Receivables or Contracts and may adjust, settle or compromise the amount of payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Assignor.

The reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of collection, whether incurred by any Assignor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by such Assignor. The Collateral Agent shall deliver a copy of each notice referred to in the preceding clause (y) to the relevant Assignor; provided that, the failure of the Collateral Agent to so notify such Assignor shall not affect the effectiveness of such notice or the other rights of the Collateral Agent created by this Section 3.5.

3.6 Instruments. If any Assignor owns or acquires any Instrument, such Assignor will within 30 Business Days notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and upon request by the Collateral Agent promptly deliver such Instrument (other than checks payable to any Assignor and processed in the ordinary course of business) to the Collateral Agent appropriately endorsed to the order of the Collateral Agent as further security hereunder.

3.7 Further Actions. Each Assignor will, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time such vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps, including any and all actions as may be necessary or required under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act, relating to its Receivables, Contracts, Instruments and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require to give effect to the purposes of this Agreement.

3.8 Assignors Remain Liable Under Receivables and Contracts. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Assignors shall remain liable under each of the Receivables and each Contract to observe and perform all of the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by them thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of the agreement giving rise to such Receivables or such Contract. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Creditor shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or any Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor of any payment relating to such Receivable or such Contract pursuant hereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Assignor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or any Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by them or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or any Contract, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to them or to which they may be entitled at any time or times.

3.9 Deposit Accounts; Etc. (a) No Unrestricted Assignor maintains, or at any time after the date hereof shall establish or maintain, any demand, time, savings, passbook or similar account, except for such accounts maintained with a bank (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC) whose jurisdiction (determined in accordance with Section 9-304 of the UCC) is within a State of the United States, provided that an Unrestricted Assignor may maintain or establish an account or accounts outside of the United States on terms, and in circumstances, reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, so long as (i) the aggregate amount of cash in all such accounts maintained outside the United States (exclusive of any amounts deposited in any such account representing monies from revenue generated exclusively from operations outside the United States) shall not exceed $150,000,000 and (ii) the aggregate amount of cash in all such accounts maintained outside the United States in excess of the amount permitted in preceding clause (i) does not exceed an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (each such account outside the United States meeting the foregoing requirements, a “Non-U.S. Deposit Account”). Annex J hereto accurately sets forth, as of the date of this Agreement, for each Unrestricted Assignor, each Deposit Account maintained by such Unrestricted Assignor (including a description thereof and the respective account number), the name of the respective bank with which such Deposit Account is maintained, and the jurisdiction of the respective Bank with respect to such Deposit Account. For each Perfected Deposit Account, the respective Unrestricted Assignor shall cause the bank with which the Perfected Deposit Account is maintained to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, within 60 days after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date or, if later, at the time of the establishment of the respective Perfected Deposit Account, a “control agreement” in the form of Annex L hereto (appropriately completed), with such changes thereto as may be approved by the Collateral Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). If any bank with which a Perfected Deposit Account is maintained refuses to, or does not, enter into such a “control agreement”, then the respective Unrestricted Assignor shall promptly (and in any event within 60 days after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date or, if later, 60 days after the opening of such account) close the respective Perfected Deposit Account and transfer all balances therein to the Cash Collateral Account or another Perfected Deposit Account meeting the requirements of this Section 3.9. If any bank with which a Perfected Deposit Account is maintained refuses to subordinate all its

claims with respect to such Perfected Deposit Account to the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein on terms satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, then the Collateral Agent, at its option, may (x) require that such Perfected Deposit Account be terminated in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence or (y) agree to a “control agreement” without such subordination, provided that in such event the Collateral Agent may at any time, at its option, subsequently require that such Perfected Deposit Account be terminated (within 60 days after notice from the Collateral Agent) in accordance with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) After the date hereof, no Unrestricted Assignor shall establish any new demand, time, savings, passbook or similar account, except for Perfected Deposit Accounts established and maintained with banks and meeting the requirements of preceding clause (a). At the time any such Perfected Deposit Account is established, the appropriate “control agreement” shall be entered into in accordance with the requirements of preceding clause (a) and the respective Unrestricted Assignor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent a supplement to Annex J hereto containing the relevant information with respect to the respective Perfected Deposit Account and the bank with which same is established.

3.10 Letter-of-Credit Rights. If any Unrestricted Assignor is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit with a stated amount of $1,000,000 or more, such Unrestricted Assignor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the request of the Collateral Agent, such Unrestricted Assignor shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, use its reasonable best efforts to (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under such letter of credit or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such letter of credit, with each Unrestricted Assignor and the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit are to be applied as provided in this Agreement after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Noticed Event of Default (it being understood and agreed that at any time prior to the occurrence of a Noticed Event of Default, such proceeds shall be directed to the relevant Assignor).

3.11 Commercial Tort Claims. All Commercial Tort Claims of each Unrestricted Assignor and any events or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Commercial Tort Claims of each Unrestricted Assignor as of the date of this Agreement are described in Annex K hereto. If any Unrestricted Assignor shall at any time and from time to time after the date hereof become aware of any Commercial Tort Claims or events or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a Commercial Tort Claim of such Unrestricted Assignor, in an amount (taking the greater of the aggregate claimed damages thereunder or the reasonably estimated value thereof) of $1,000,000 or more, such Unrestricted Assignor shall (i) promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Assignor and describing the details thereof and shall grant to the Collateral Agent in such writing a security interest in all such Commercial Tort Claims and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and (ii) perform all actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to perfect such security interest in such Commercial Tort Claims.

3.12 Chattel Paper. Upon the request of the Collateral Agent made at any time or from time to time, each Unrestricted Assignor shall promptly furnish to the Collateral Agent a list of all Electronic Chattel Paper held or owned by such Unrestricted Assignor. Furthermore, if requested by the Collateral Agent, each Unrestricted Assignor shall promptly take all actions which are reasonably practicable so that the Collateral Agent has “control” of all Electronic Chattel Paper in accordance with the requirements of Section 9-105 of the UCC. Each Unrestricted Assignor will promptly (and in any event within 10 days) following any request by the Collateral Agent, deliver all of its Tangible Chattel Paper to the Collateral Agent.

ARTICLE VI

PROVISIONS CONCERNING ALL COLLATERAL

6.1 Protection of Collateral Agent’s Security. Each Assignor will at all times keep its Inventory and Equipment insured in favor of the Collateral Agent, at its own expense, to the extent required by the Credit Agreement; copies of all policies or certificates with respect to such insurance (i) shall be endorsed to the Collateral Agent’s reasonable satisfaction for the benefit of the Collateral Agent (including, without limitation, by naming the Collateral Agent as loss payee and the Collateral Agent and the other relevant Secured Creditors as additional insureds), (ii) shall state that such insurance policies shall not be cancelled or materially revised without at least 30 days’ (or at least 10 days’ in the case of nonpayment of premium) prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Collateral Agent and (iii) shall be deposited with the Collateral Agent. If any Assignor shall fail to insure such Inventory or Equipment to the extent required by the Credit Agreement, or if any Assignor shall fail to so endorse and deposit copies of all policies or certificates with respect thereto, the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but shall be under no obligation), upon prior written notice to such Assignor, to procure such insurance and such Assignor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses of procuring such insurance. Except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall apply any proceeds of such insurance required after a Noticed Event of Default in accordance with Section 7.4 (it being understood that so long as no

Noticed Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent will release any interest it has in the proceeds of any casualty insurance to the Assignors). Each Assignor assumes all liability and responsibility in connection with the Collateral acquired by it and the liability of such Assignor to pay its Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the fact that such Collateral may be lost, destroyed, stolen, damaged or for any reason whatsoever unavailable to such Assignor.

6.2 Further Actions. Each Assignor will, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time such lists, descriptions and designations of its Collateral, warehouse receipts, receipts in the nature of warehouse receipts, bills of lading, documents of title, vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted, which the Collateral Agent deems reasonably appropriate or advisable to perfect, preserve or protect its security interest in the Collateral.

6.3 Financing Statements. Each Assignor agrees to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such financing statements, in form acceptable to the Collateral Agent, as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request or as are reasonably necessary or desirable in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent to establish and maintain a valid, enforceable, first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject to the Permitted Liens) as provided herein and the other rights and security contemplated hereby all in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any and all relevant jurisdictions or any other relevant law. Each Assignor will pay any applicable filing fees, recordation taxes and related expenses. Each Assignor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file any such financing statements (including, without limitation, (x) financing statements which list the Collateral specifically and/or “all assets” as collateral and (y) “in lieu of” financing statements) without the signature of such Assignor where permitted by law.

6.4 Additional Information. Each Assignor will, at its own expense, from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, promptly (and in any event within 10 days after its receipt of the respective request) furnish to the Collateral Agent such information with respect to the Collateral (including the identity of the Collateral or such components thereof as may have been requested by the Collateral Agent, the value and location of such Collateral, etc.) as may be requested by the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the forgoing, each Assignor agrees that it shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after its receipt of the respective request) furnish to the Collateral Agent such updated Annexes hereto as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent.

ARTICLE VII

REMEDIES UPON OCCURRENCE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT

7.1 Remedies; Obtaining the Collateral Upon Default. Each Assignor agrees that, if a Noticed Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such

case, subject to any mandatory requirements of applicable law then in effect, the Collateral Agent, in addition to any rights now or hereafter existing under applicable law and under the other provisions of this Agreement, shall have all rights as a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code in all relevant jurisdictions and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured creditor is entitled under the laws in effect in all relevant jurisdictions and may also:

(i) personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from such Assignor or any other Person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon such Assignor’s premises where any of the Collateral is located and remove the same and use in connection with such removal any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of such Assignor;

(ii) instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation (including, without limitation, the Receivables and the Contracts) constituting the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such instrument or agreement directly to the Collateral Agent and may exercise any and all remedies of such Assignor in respect of such Collateral;

(iii) instruct all banks which have entered into a control agreement with the Collateral Agent to transfer all moneys, securities and instruments held by such depository bank to the Cash Collateral Account and withdraw all moneys, securities and instruments in the Cash Collateral Account for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 7.4 hereof;

(iv) sell, assign or otherwise liquidate, or direct such Assignor to sell, assign or otherwise liquidate, any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale or liquidation;

(v) take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing such Assignor in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at any place or places reasonably designated by the Collateral Agent, in which event such Assignor shall at its own expense:

(A) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places so designated by the Collateral Agent and there delivered to the Collateral Agent,

(B) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Collateral Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 7.2, and

(C) while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such guards, other security and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition;

(vi) license or sublicense whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any Marks, Patents or Copyrights included in the Collateral for such term and on such

conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole judgment determine;

(vii) apply any moneys constituting Collateral or proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 8.4; and

(viii) take any other action as specified in clauses (1) through (5), inclusive, of Section 9-607 of the UCC.

it being understood that such Assignor’s obligation so to deliver the Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by such Assignor of said obligation. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and each other Security Document, the Secured Creditors expressly acknowledge and agree that (x) this Agreement and each other Security Document may be enforced only by the action of the Collateral Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders or, if the CA Termination Date has occurred, the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of all remaining Obligations, provided that if prior to the CA Termination Date a payment default with respect to at least $300,000,000 principal amount in the aggregate of Existing Senior Notes, New Senior Notes and/or Refinancing Senior Notes has continued for at least 180 days (and such defaulted payment has not been received pursuant to a drawing under any letter of credit), the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Indebtedness subject to such payment default or defaults can direct the Collateral Agent to commence and continue enforcement of the Liens created hereunder, which the Collateral Agent shall comply with subject to receiving any indemnity which it reasonably requests, provided further that the Collateral Agent shall thereafter comply only with the directions of the Required Lenders as to carrying out such enforcement so long as such directions are not adverse to the aforesaid directions of the holders of Indebtedness subject to such payment default or defaults, and (y) no other Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or any other Security Document or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby or thereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies shall be exercised exclusively by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors as their interest may appear upon the terms of this Agreement and the other Security Documents.

7.2 Remedies; Disposition of the Collateral. Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Noticed Event of Default, any Collateral repossessed by the Collateral Agent under or pursuant to Section 7.1 and any other Collateral whether or not so repossessed by the Collateral Agent, may be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or places and on such terms as the Collateral Agent may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be commercially reasonable. Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Collateral Agent or after any overhaul or repair which the Collateral Agent shall determine to be commercially reasonable. Any such disposition which shall be a private sale or other private proceedings permitted by such requirements shall be made upon not less than ten (10) days’ written notice to the relevant Assignor specifying the time at which such disposition is to

be made and the intended sale price or other consideration therefor, and shall be subject, for the ten (10) days after the giving of such notice, to the right of the relevant Assignor or any nominee of such Assignor to acquire the Collateral involved at a price or for such other consideration at least equal to the intended sale price or other consideration so specified. Any such disposition which shall be a public sale permitted by such requirements shall be made upon not less than ten (10) days’ written notice to the relevant Assignor specifying the time and place of such sale and, in the absence of applicable requirements of law, shall be by public auction (which may, at the Collateral Agent’s option, be subject to reserve), after publication of notice of such auction not less than 10 days prior thereto in one newspaper in general circulation in the City of New York and one newspaper in general circulation in Winston Salem, North Carolina. To the extent permitted by any such requirement of law, the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Creditors (or certain of them) may bid for and become the purchaser (by bidding in the Obligations or otherwise) of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for sale in accordance with this Section without accountability to the relevant Assignor (except to the extent of surplus money received as provided in Section 7.4). If, under mandatory requirements of applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall be required to make disposition of the Collateral within a period of time which does not permit the giving of notice to the relevant Assignor as hereinabove specified, the Collateral Agent need give such Assignor only such notice of disposition as shall be reasonably practicable in view of such mandatory requirements of applicable law.

7.3 Waiver of Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, EACH ASSIGNOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S TAKING POSSESSION OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT WHICH SUCH ASSIGNOR WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OR ANY STATUTE OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF ANY STATE, and such Assignor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law:

The Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Secured Creditor as the result of any release of Collateral by it as permitted by (or which the Collateral Agent in good faith believes to be permitted by) this Section 10.9. Upon any release of Collateral pursuant to Section 10.9(a), (b) or (c), so long as no Noticed Event of Default is then in existence, none of the Secured Creditors shall have any continuing right or interest in such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof (subject to reinstatement rights upon the occurrence of a new Trigger Event in the case of a release pursuant to Section 10.9(c)).

10.10 Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent will hold in accordance with this Agreement all items of the Collateral at any time received under this Agreement. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement, each Secured Creditor acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Collateral Agent as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and Annex M hereto. The Collateral Agent shall act hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 11 of the Credit Agreement and in Annex M hereto, the terms of which shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference as fully as if the same were set forth herein in their entirety. In the event that any provision set forth in Section 11 of the Credit Agreement in respect of the Collateral Agent conflicts with any provision set forth in Annex M hereto, the provisions of Annex M hereto shall govern (except that the Lenders shall remain obligated to indemnify the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 11 of the Credit Agreement, to the extent the Collateral Agent is not indemnified by Secured Creditors pursuant to Annex M). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.2 of this Agreement, this Section 10.10, and the duties and obligations of the Collateral Agent set forth in this Section 10.10, may not be amended or modified without the consent of the Collateral Agent.

This Agreement is entered into solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and for the benefit of the Secured Creditors from time to time and their respective successors and assigns and, except for the Secured Creditors and their successors and assigns, there shall be no third party beneficiaries hereof, nor shall any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and the Secured Creditors and their respective successors and assigns, be entitled to enforce the provisions hereof or have any claims against any party hereto (or any Secured Creditor) or their successors and assigns arising from, or under, this Agreement.

		ANNEX L
		TO
		SECURITY AGREEMENT

Form of Control Agreement Regarding Deposit Accounts

AGREEMENT (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of ___, ___, among the undersigned assignor (the “Assignor”), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., not in its individual capacity but solely as Collateral Agent (in such capacity and together with its successors or assigns in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), and (the “Deposit Account Bank”), as the bank (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC as in effect on the date hereof in the State of (the “UCC”)) with which one or more deposit accounts (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC) are maintained by the Assignor (with all such deposit accounts now or at any time in the future maintained by the Assignor with the Deposit Account Bank being herein called the “Deposit Accounts”).

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, the Assignor, various other Assignors and the Collateral Agent have entered into a Security Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2003, as amended and restated as of July 30, 2004, and as further amended and restated as of May 31, 2006 (as so amended and restated and as the same may be further amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), under which, among other things, in order to secure the payment of the Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement), the Assignor has granted a security interest to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (as defined in the Security Agreement) in all of the right, title and interest of the Assignor in and into any and all deposit accounts (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC) and in all moneys, securities, instruments and other investments deposited therein from time to time (collectively, herein called the “Collateral”); and

WHEREAS, the Assignor desires that the Deposit Account Bank enter into this Agreement in order to establish “control” (as defined in Section 9-104 of the UCC) in each Deposit Account at any time or from time to time maintained with the Deposit Account Bank, and to provide for the rights of the parties under this Agreement with respect to such Deposit Accounts;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Assignor’s Dealings with Deposit Accounts; Notice of Exclusive Control. Until the Deposit Account Bank shall have received from the Collateral Agent a Notice of Exclusive Control (as defined below), the Assignor shall be entitled to present items drawn on and otherwise to withdraw or direct the disposition of funds from the Deposit Accounts and give

Annex L
Page 2

instructions in respect of the Deposit Accounts; provided, however, that the Assignor may not, and the Deposit Account Bank agrees that it shall not permit the Assignor to, without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent, close any Deposit Account. If the Collateral Agent shall give to the Deposit Account Bank a notice of the Collateral Agent’s exclusive control of the Deposit Accounts, which notice states that it is a “Notice of Exclusive Control” (a “Notice of Exclusive Control”), only the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to withdraw funds from the Deposit Accounts, to give any instructions in respect of the Deposit Accounts and any funds held therein or credited thereto or otherwise to deal with the Deposit Accounts.

2. Collateral Agent’s Right to Give Instructions as to Deposit Accounts. (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any separate agreement that the Assignor may have with the Deposit Account Bank, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled, for purposes of this Agreement, at any time following the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control to give the Deposit Account Bank instructions as to the withdrawal or disposition of any funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account, or as to any other matters relating to any Deposit Account or any other Collateral, without further consent from the Assignor. The Assignor hereby irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Deposit Account Bank, and the Deposit Account Bank hereby agrees, to comply with any such instructions from the Collateral Agent without any further consent from the Assignor. Such instructions may include the giving of stop payment orders for any items being presented to any Deposit Account for payment. The Deposit Account Bank shall be fully entitled to rely on, and shall comply with, such instructions from the Collateral Agent even if such instructions are contrary to any instructions or demands that the Assignor may give to the Deposit Account Bank. In case of any conflict between instructions received by the Deposit Account Bank from the Collateral Agent and the Assignor, the instructions from the Collateral Agent shall prevail.

(b) It is understood and agreed that the Deposit Account Bank’s duty to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent regarding the Deposit Accounts is absolute, and the Deposit Account Bank shall be under no duty or obligation, nor shall it have the authority, to inquire or determine whether or not such instructions are in accordance with the Security Agreement or any other Credit Document (as defined in the Security Agreement), nor seek confirmation thereof from the Assignor or any other Person.

3. Assignor’s Exculpation and Indemnification of Depository Bank. The Assignor hereby irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Deposit Account Bank, at any time following the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, to follow instructions from the Collateral Agent regarding the Deposit Accounts even if the result of following such instructions from the Collateral Agent is that the Deposit Account Bank dishonors items presented for payment from any Deposit Account. The Assignor further confirms that the Deposit Account Bank shall have no liability to the Assignor for wrongful dishonor of such items in following such instructions from the Collateral Agent. The Deposit Account Bank shall have no duty to inquire or determine whether the Assignor’s obligations to the Collateral Agent are in default or whether the Collateral Agent is entitled, under any separate agreement between the Assignor and the Collateral Agent, to give any such instructions. The Assignor further agrees to be responsible for the Deposit Account Bank’s customary charges and to indemnify the Deposit Account Bank from and to hold the Deposit Account Bank harmless against any loss, cost or expense that the

Annex L
Page 3

Deposit Account Bank may sustain or incur in acting upon instructions which the Deposit Account Bank believes in good faith to be instructions from the Collateral Agent.

4. Subordination of Security Interests; Deposit Account Bank’s Recourse to Deposit Accounts. The Deposit Account Bank hereby subordinates any claims and security interests it may have against, or with respect to, any Deposit Account at any time established or maintained with it by the Assignor (including any amounts, investments, instruments or other Collateral from time to time on deposit therein) to the security interests of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Creditors) therein, and agrees that no amounts shall be charged by it to, or withheld or set-off or otherwise recouped by it from, any Deposit Account of the Assignor or any amounts, investments, instruments or other Collateral from time to time on deposit therein; provided that the Deposit Account Bank may, however, from time to time debit the Deposit Accounts for any of its customary charges in maintaining the Deposit Accounts or for reimbursement for the reversal of any provisional credits granted by the Deposit Account Bank to any Deposit Account, to the extent, in each case, that the Assignor has not separately paid or reimbursed the Deposit Account Bank therefor.

5. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Deposit Account Bank. The Deposit Account Bank represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent that:

(a) The Deposit Account Bank constitutes a “bank” (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC) and that the jurisdiction (determined in accordance with Section 9-304 of the UCC) of the Deposit Account Bank for purposes of each Deposit Account maintained by the Assignor with the Deposit Account Bank shall be one or more States within the United States.

(b) The Deposit Account Bank shall not permit any Assignor to establish any demand, time, savings, passbook or other account with it which it does not constitute a Deposit Account (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC).

(c) The account agreements between the Deposit Account Bank and the Assignor relating to the establishment and general operation of the Deposit Accounts provide, whether specifically or generally, that the laws of govern secured transactions relating to the Deposit Accounts and that the Deposit Account Bank’s “jurisdiction” for purposes of Section 9-304 of the UCC in respect of the Deposit Accounts is . The Deposit Account Bank will not, without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent, amend any such account agreement so that the Deposit Account Bank’s jurisdiction for purposes of Section 9-304 of the UCC is other than a jurisdiction permitted pursuant to preceding clause (a). All account agreements in respect of each Deposit Account in existence on the date hereof are listed on Annex A hereto and copies of all such account agreements have been furnished to the Collateral Agent. The Deposit Account Bank will promptly furnish to the Collateral Agent a copy of the account agreement for each Deposit Account hereafter established by the Deposit Account Bank for the Assignor.

(d) The Deposit Account Bank has not entered and will not enter, into any agreement with any other Person by which the Deposit Account Bank is obligated to comply with instructions from such other Person as to the disposition of funds from any Deposit Account or other dealings with any Deposit Account or other of the Collateral.

Annex L
Page 4

(e) On the date hereof, the Deposit Account Bank maintains no Deposit Accounts for the Assignor other than the Deposit Accounts specifically identified in Annex A hereto.

(f) Any items or funds received by the Deposit Account Bank for the Assignor’s account will be credited to said Deposit Accounts specified in paragraph (e) above or to any other Deposit Accounts hereafter established by the Deposit Account Bank for the Assignor in accordance with this Agreement.

6. Deposit Account Statements and Information. The Deposit Account Bank agrees, and is hereby authorized and instructed by the Assignor, to furnish to the Collateral Agent upon its reasonable request, at its address indicated below, copies of all account statements and other information relating to each Deposit Account that the Deposit Account Bank sends to the Assignor and to disclose to the Collateral Agent all other information reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent regarding any Deposit Account. The Collateral Agent, for its part, agrees not to make any request for information pursuant to this Section 6 unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

7. Conflicting Agreements. This Agreement shall have control over any conflicting agreement between the Deposit Account Bank and the Assignor.

8. Merger or Consolidation of Deposit Account Bank. Without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, any bank into which the Deposit Account Bank may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any bank resulting from any merger to which the Deposit Account Bank shall be a party, shall be the successor of the Deposit Account Bank hereunder and shall be bound by all provisions hereof which are binding upon the Deposit Account Bank and shall be deemed to affirm as to itself all representations and warranties of the Deposit Account Bank contained herein.

ANNEX M

THE COLLATERAL AGENT¹

1. Appointment. The Secured Creditors, by their acceptance of the benefits of the Security Agreement to which this Annex M is attached (the “Security Agreement”) hereby irrevocably designate JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., (and any successor Collateral Agent) to act as specified herein and therein. Each Secured Creditor hereby irrevocable authorizes, and each holder of any Obligation by the acceptance of such Obligation and by the acceptance of the benefits of the Security Agreement shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Security Agreement and any instruments and agreements referred to therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder or thereunder by or through its authorized agents, sub-agents or employees. The Collateral Agent, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby accepts such appointment created hereby upon the terms and conditions specified herein.

2. Nature of Duties. (a) The Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein or in the Security Agreement. The duties of the Collateral Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Collateral Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other Secured Debt Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Secured Creditor; and nothing in this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other Secured Debt Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Collateral Agent any obligations in respect of the Security Agreement except as expressly set forth herein and therein.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges or assessments or discharging of Liens upon the collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance by any Assignor of any of the covenants or agreements contained in the Security Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other Secured Debt Agreement.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation or duty to take any action under, or with respect to, the Security Agreement if taking such action (i) would subject the Collateral Agent to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax or (ii) would require the Collateral Agent to qualify to do business, or obtain any license, in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or licensed or (iii) would subject the Collateral Agent to in personam jurisdiction in any locations where it is not then so subject.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Annex M, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents shall, in its individual capacity, be personally liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance


¹		Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein (x) and defined in the Security Agreement, are used herein as therein defined and (y) not defined in the Security Agreement, are used herein as defined in the Credit Agreement referenced in the Security Agreement.

Annex M
Page 2

with, or pursuant to this Annex M of, the Security Agreement, unless caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Security Agreement or this Annex M, the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible or liable for perfecting, or maintaining the priority of, the Liens created pursuant to the Security Agreement.

3. Lack of Reliance on the Collateral Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent, each Secured Creditor, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Assignor and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Obligations and the taking or not taking of any action in connection therewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Assignor and its Subsidiaries, and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Secured Creditor with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the extension of any Obligations or the purchase of any Notes, Existing Senior Notes, New Senior Notes or Refinancing Senior Notes or at any time or times thereafter. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever to any Secured Creditor for the correctness of any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein, in the other Secured Debt Agreements or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of the Security Agreement or the security interests granted thereunder or the financial condition of any Assignor or any Subsidiary of any Assignor or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Security Agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement, or the financial condition of any Assignor or any Subsidiary of any Assignor, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default under any Secured Debt Agreement. The Collateral Agent makes no representations as to the value or condition of the Collateral or any part thereof, or as to the title of any Assignor thereto or as to the security afforded by the Security Agreement.

4. Certain Rights of the Collateral Agent. (a) No Secured Creditor shall have the right to take any action with respect to (or against) any Collateral, or cause the Collateral Agent to take any action with respect to (or against) any Collateral, with only the Required Lenders (or in the specific circumstances contemplated by (and subject to the terms of) Section 7.1, the holders of a majority of the Applicable Obligations) having the right to direct the Collateral Agent (such holders of Obligations so entitled to direct the Collateral Agent, the “Required Secured Creditors”) by written instruction in accordance with Section 4(d) hereof to take any such action. Except for actions required to be taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the Security Agreement, if the Collateral Agent shall request instructions from the Required Secured Creditors with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with the Security Agreement and the Required Secured Creditors shall fail to instruct the Collateral Agent with respect to any act or action (including failure to act and refrain from acting) in connection with the Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until it shall have received express instructions from the

Annex M
Page 3

Required Secured Creditors and to the extent requested, appropriate indemnification in respect of actions to be taken, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Secured Creditor or any other Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, (x) no Secured Creditor shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of the Collateral Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under the Security Agreement in accordance with the instructions of the Required Secured Creditors or as expressly provided in the Security Agreement and (y) without limiting preceding clause (x), the Collateral Agent shall not be liable to any Secured Creditor or any other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under the Security Agreement, unless caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (and subject to Section 2(f) of this Annex M), the Collateral Agent is authorized, but not obligated, (i) to take any action reasonably required to perfect or continue the perfection of the liens on the Collateral for the benefit of the relevant Secured Creditors and (ii) when instructions from the Required Secured Creditors have been requested by the Collateral Agent but have not yet been received, to take any action which the Collateral Agent, in good faith, believes to be reasonably required to promote and protect the interests of the Secured Creditors in the Collateral; provided that once instructions have been received, the actions of the Collateral Agent shall be governed thereby and the Collateral Agent shall not take any further action which would be contrary thereto.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take or refrain from taking, and shall have no liability to any Secured Creditor for taking or refraining from taking, any action that exposes or, in the good faith judgment of the Collateral Agent may expose, the Collateral Agent or its officers, directors, agents or employees to personal liability, unless the Collateral Agent shall be adequately indemnified as provided herein or that is, or in the good faith judgment of the Collateral Agent may be, contrary to the Security Agreement, any other Secured Debt Agreement or applicable law.

(d) For purposes of the Security Agreement, each Secured Creditor shall appoint a Person as such Secured Creditor’s authorized representative (each, an “Authorized Representative”) for the purpose of giving or delivering any notices or instructions thereunder. Any instructions given by the Required Secured Creditors to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement shall be in writing signed by the Authorized Representative(s) of the various Secured Creditors comprising the Required Secured Creditors with respect to such instructions and such instructions shall certify to and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent that the Secured Creditors issuing or delivering such instructions constitute the Required Secured Creditors for purposes of this Section 4 and the instructions being delivered. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively and absolutely rely on such instructions and certification as to the identity of the Required Secured Creditors with respect to such instructions, and the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action, and shall not be liable to any Secured Creditor for failing or refusing to act, pursuant to any instructions which are not given or delivered by the Authorized Representatives of various Secured Creditors comprising the Required Secured Creditors with respect to such instructions. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Authorized Representative

Annex M
Page 4

of each of the Secured Creditors shall be (1) the Administrative Agent, in the case of the Lender Creditors, (2) the Existing Senior Notes Trustee, in the case of the Existing Senior Notes Creditors, (3) the New Senior Notes Trustee in the case of the New Senior Notes Creditors, (4) the Refinancing Senior Notes Trustee, in the case of the Refinancing Senior Notes Creditors, (5) in the case of any Credit Card Issuer, such representative as may be designated by such Credit Card Issuer by written notice to the Collateral Agent from time to time and (6) in the case of any Hedging Creditor, such representative as may be designated by such Hedging Creditor by written notice to the Collateral Agent from time to time.

5. Reliance; Interpretation. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon, any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telescopes message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by the proper Person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining hereto or to the Security Agreement and its duties thereunder and hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. If, in its good faith judgment, the Collateral Agent reasonably believes that any instructions given or delivered pursuant to the Security Agreement require judicial interpretation or are invalid or otherwise contrary to the provisions of the Security Agreement, any other Secured Debt Agreement or applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to determine the validity of, or otherwise interpret, any such instructions. In such event, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to carry out such instructions unless directed to do so, or it is determined that it may do so, by such court.

6. Indemnification. To the extent the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Assignors under the Security Agreement, the Secured Creditors will reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent, in proportion to their respective outstanding principal amounts (including, for this purpose, the Stated Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, as well as any unpaid primary Obligations in respect of Secured Credit Card Agreements and Secured Hedging Agreements, as outstanding principal) of Obligations, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of its actions as Collateral Agent in respect of the Security Agreement except for those resulting solely from the Collateral Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The indemnities set forth in this Section 6 shall survive the repayment of all Obligations, with the respective indemnification at such time to be based upon the outstanding principal amounts (determined as described above) of Obligations at the time of the respective occurrence upon which the claim against the Collateral Agent is based or, if same is not reasonably determinable, based upon the outstanding principal amounts (determined as described above) of Obligations as in effect immediately prior to the termination of the Security Agreement. The indemnities set forth in this Section 6 are in addition to any indemnities provided by the Lenders to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement, with the effect being that the Lenders shall be responsible for indemnifying the Collateral Agent to the extent the Collateral Agent does not receive payments pursuant to this Section 6 from the Secured Creditors (although in such event, and upon the payment in full of all such amounts owing to the Collateral Agent by the Lenders,

Annex M
Page 5

the Lenders shall be subrogated to any rights of the Collateral Agent to receive payment from the Secured Creditors).

7. The Collateral Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligations as a lender under the Credit Agreement and any other Credit Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, and to act as agent under one or more of such Credit Documents, the Collateral Agent shall have the rights and powers specified therein and herein for a “Lender”, or an “Agent”, as the case may be, and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the terms “Lenders”, “Required Lenders”, “holders of Notes”, or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity. The Collateral Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with any Assignor or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Assignor as if it were not performing the duties specified herein or in the other Credit Documents, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Assignors for services in connection with the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Secured Creditors.

8. Holders. The Collateral Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note or the registered owner of any Existing Senior Note, New Senior Note or Refinancing Senior Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Collateral Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note or the registered owner of any Existing Senior Note, New Senior Note or Refinancing Senior Note, shall be final and conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note, Existing Senior Note, New Senior Note or Refinancing Senior Note, as the case may be, or of any Note, Existing Senior Note, New Senior Note or Refinancing Senior Note, as the case may be, issued in exchange therefor.

9. Resignation and Removal of the Collateral Agent. (a) The Collateral Agent may resign from the performance of all of its functions and duties hereunder and under the Security Agreement at any time by giving 30 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower and the Secured Creditors. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to clause (b) or (c) below.

(b) If a successor Collateral Agent shall not have been appointed within said 30 Business Day period by the Required Secured Creditors (with, so long as no Event of Default then exists, the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)), the Collateral Agent, with the consent (unless an Event of Default shall exist, in which case no such consent shall be required) of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall then appoint a successor Collateral Agent who shall serve as Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, such successor Collateral Agent resigns and is replaced in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c) If no successor Collateral Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) above by the 30^th Business Day after the date of such notice of resignation was given by the Collateral Agent as a

Annex M
Page 6

result of a failure by the Borrower to consent to the appointment of such a successor Collateral Agent, (i) the Required Secured Creditors shall then appoint a successor Collateral Agent who shall serve as Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder or (ii) if the Required Secured Creditors shall have failed to appoint a successor Collateral Agent by the 35^th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may appoint (or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint) a successor Collateral Agent who shall serve as Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder, in either such case until such time, if any, as the Required Secured Creditors appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided above.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Required Secured Creditors may remove the Collateral Agent by an instrument in writing executed by the Required Secured Creditors and, thereupon, appoint a successor Collateral Agent designated by the Required Secured Creditors (with, so long as no Event of Default then exists, the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)), effective as provided in Section 9(e) below.

(e) The resignation or removal of a Collateral Agent shall become effective only upon the execution and delivery of such documents or instruments as are necessary to transfer the rights and obligations of the Collateral Agent under the Security Agreement and the recording or filing of such documents, instruments or financing statements as may be necessary to maintain the priority and perfection of any security interest granted by the Security Agreement. Copies of each such document or instrument shall be delivered to each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Existing Senior Notes Trustee, the New Senior Notes Trustee and the Refinancing Senior Notes Trustee. The appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 9 shall become effective upon the acceptance of such appointment (and execution by such successor of the documents, instruments or financing statements referred to above) and such successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent.

(f) After any resignation or removal hereunder of the Collateral Agent, the indemnification provisions specified in this Annex M and in the Security Agreement shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with its agency hereunder while it was Collateral Agent.

10. Co-Collateral Agents; Separate Collateral Agents. (a) If at any time or times it shall be necessary or prudent in order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which any of the Collateral shall be located, or the Collateral Agent shall be advised by counsel, satisfactory to it, that it is necessary or prudent in the interest of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Creditors, then the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to appoint one or more sub-collateral agents or co-collateral agents, and in such case the Collateral Agent, the Borrower and each of the other Assignors having an interest in the Collateral located in the jurisdiction in which such separate or sub-collateral agent or co-collateral agent is to act shall execute and deliver all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute another bank or trust company, or one or more individuals approved by the Collateral Agent, either to act as co-collateral agent or co-collateral agents jointly with the Collateral Agent originally named herein or any successor or successors, or to act as a separate or sub-collateral agent or agents of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Creditors in respect of any or all of the Collateral. If the Borrower and each of the other

Annex M
Page 7

Assignors having an interest in the Collateral located in the jurisdiction in which such separate or sub-collateral agent or co-collateral agent is to act shall not have joined in the execution of such instruments or agreements within 10 days after the receipt of a written request from the Collateral Agent so to do, or if a Default or an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Collateral Agent may act under the foregoing provisions of this Section 10 without the concurrence of the Borrower and the other Assignors, and the Borrower and each of the other Assignors hereby irrevocably appoint the Collateral Agent as their agent and attorney to act for them under the foregoing provisions of this Section 10 in either of such contingencies.

(b) Every separate or sub-collateral agent (and all references herein to a “separate collateral agent” shall be deemed to refer also to a “sub-collateral agent” or a “collateral sub-agent”) and every co-collateral agent, other than any collateral agent which may be appointed as successor to any Collateral Agent, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be appointed and act and be such, subject to the following provisions and conditions, namely:

(i) all rights, remedies, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon, reserved to or imposed upon the Collateral Agent in respect of the custody, control and management of monies, papers or securities shall be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent hereunder;

(ii) all rights, remedies, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon, reserved to or imposed upon the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be conferred, reserved or imposed and exercised or performed by the Collateral Agent and such separate collateral agent or separate collateral agents or co-collateral agent or co-collateral agents, jointly or severally, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such separate collateral agent or separate collateral agents or co-collateral agent or co-collateral agents, except to the extent that, under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Collateral Agent shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, remedies, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate collateral agent or separate collateral agents or co-collateral agent or co-collateral agents;

(iii) no power given hereby to, or which it is provided hereby may be exercised by, any such separate collateral agent or separate collateral agents or co-collateral agent or co-collateral agents shall be exercised hereunder by such separate collateral agent or separate collateral agents or co-collateral agent or co-collateral agents except (subject to applicable law) jointly with, or with the consent or at the direction in writing of, the Collateral Agent (which direction shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Security Agreement);

(iv) all provisions of the Security Agreement relating to the Collateral Agent or to releases of Collateral shall apply to any such separate collateral agent or separate collateral agents or co-collateral agent or co-collateral agents;

Annex M
Page 8

(v) no collateral agent constituted under this Section 10 shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other separate or co-collateral agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder; and

(vi) the Collateral Agent at any time by an instrument in writing, executed by it, may accept the resignation of any such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent and the Collateral Agent or the Required Secured Creditors may individually or jointly remove any such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, and in that case, by an instrument in writing executed by the Collateral Agent or the Required Secured Creditors, as the case may be, and the Collateral Agent or the Required Secured Creditors, as the case may be, may appoint a successor to such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, as the case may be, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If the Borrower and each of the other Assignors shall not have joined in the execution of any such instrument within 10 days after the receipt of a written request from the Collateral Agent so to do, or if a Default or an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the power to accept the resignation of or remove any such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent and to appoint a successor to such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, as the case may be, and to execute any such instrument without the concurrence of the Borrower or such other Assignor, and the Borrower and each of the other Assignors hereby irrevocably appoint the Collateral Agent their agent and attorney to act for them in such connection in either of such contingencies. If the Collateral Agent shall have appointed a separate collateral agent or separate collateral agents or co-collateral agent or co-collateral agents as above provided, the Collateral Agent may at any time, by an instrument in writing, accept the resignation of or remove any such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, the successor to any such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent to be appointed by the Borrower and each of the other Assignors and the Collateral Agent, or by the Collateral Agent alone, as hereinabove provided in this Section 10.

11. Certain Acknowledgment. (a) Each Secured Creditor, by its acceptance of the benefits hereunder and of the Security Agreement, hereby agrees for the benefit of the other Secured Creditors that, to the extent any additional or substitute collateral for any of the Obligations of the type covered by the Security Agreement is delivered by an Assignor to or for the benefit of any Secured Creditor, such collateral shall be subject to the provisions of this Annex M and of the Security Agreement.

(b) Each of the Secured Creditors hereby agrees not to challenge or question in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of any Security Document (in each case as a whole or any term or provision contained therein) or the validity of any Lien or financing statement in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (or Class of Secured Creditors) as provided in the respective Security Document.

12. Sharing Arrangements. (a) The Secured Creditors hereby agree that the provisions of the Security Documents with respect to allocations and distributions of proceeds of the Collateral shall prevail notwithstanding any event or circumstance, including, without limitation, in the event that, through the operation of any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other laws or

Annex M
Page 9

otherwise, any prior creditors’ security interest in the Collateral is avoided in whole or in part or is enforced with respect to some, but not all, of the respective Obligations then outstanding.

(b) The Secured Creditors agree that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with the Security Documents, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of any such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in the respective Security Documents.

(c) In the event that any payment or distribution shall be received by any Secured Creditor in a manner that is inconsistent with the provisions of Section 7.4 of the Security Agreement, such payment or distribution shall be held by the respective Secured Creditor for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the respective Secured Creditors entitled thereto for application to such Secured Creditors’ Obligations (including, without limitation, all interest that accrues after the commencement of any case, proceeding or other action relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding of any Assignor at the rate provided for in the respective documentation for such Obligations, whether or not a claim for post-petition interest is allowed in any such proceeding) in accordance with Section 7.4 of the Security Agreement.

13. Provisions in the Event of Insolvency Proceedings. Without limiting the other provisions of this Annex M, upon the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code by or against any Assignor the Security Documents shall remain in full force and effect and enforceable pursuant to their respective terms in accordance with Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and all references herein to such Assignor shall be deemed to apply to such entity as debtor-in-possession and to any trustee in bankruptcy for the estate of such entity.

14. Special Releases and Waivers. (a) Each Secured Creditor agrees that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Required Secured Creditors (in directing the Collateral Agent to take any action with respect to the Collateral) shall have any duty or obligation to realize first upon any type of Collateral or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of the Collateral in any manner that would maximize the return to any Class of Secured Creditors holding Obligations of any type (whether Credit Document Obligations, Credit Card Obligations, Hedging Obligations, Existing Senior Notes Obligations, RAI Senior Notes Obligations or otherwise), notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by such Class of Secured Creditors from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation.

(b) Each of the Secured Creditors waives any claim which each such Secured Creditor may now or hereafter have against the Collateral Agent (and the Required Secured Creditors directing the Collateral Agent) arising out of any and all actions which the Collateral Agent takes or omits to take (including, without limitation, actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on the Collateral, actions with respect to the occurrence of an Event of Default, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release, or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the security for the Obligations and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any

other party) in accordance with the respective Secured Debt Agreements or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of the security for the Obligations.

As between the Existing Senior Notes Creditors, the New Senior Notes Creditors, the Refinancing Senior Notes Creditors and the RJRTH Intercompany Note Creditor, on the one hand, and the other Secured Creditors (including, without limitation, the Lenders), on the other hand, it is agreed that the Secured Creditors (excluding the Existing Senior Notes Creditors, the New Senior Notes Creditors, the Refinancing Senior Notes Creditors and the RJRTH Intercompany Note Creditor in their capacities as such) may at any time and from time to time, in their sole discretion, and without any obligation to give any notice or receive any consent from the Existing Senior Notes Creditors, the New Senior Notes Creditors, the Refinancing Senior Notes Creditors and the RJRTH Intercompany Note Creditor in their capacities as such, (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment, or change or extend the time of payment of, or renew, alter, refinance, increase or add to the Credit Documents Obligations, the Credit Card Obligations or the Hedging Obligations, as applicable, (ii) obtain, release, or dispose of any Collateral for Credit Documents Obligations, the Credit Card Obligations or the Hedging Obligations, as applicable (subject, however, to Sections 10.2 and 10.8 of the Security Agreement), or (iii) amend or supplement in any manner the Security Agreement and the other Credit Documents or any other agreements or instruments evidencing, securing or relating to the Credit Documents Obligations, the Credit Card Obligations or the Hedging Obligations, as applicable (subject, however, in the case of the Credit Document Obligations, to Section 12.12 of the Credit Agreement and Section 10.2 of the Security Agreement), and the provisions of this Annex M shall continue in full force and effect with respect to all such Credit Documents Obligations, the Credit Card Obligations or the Hedging Obligations, as the case may be.

16. Post-Petition Interest. Each Secured Creditor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Credit Document Obligations, the Credit Card Obligations, the Hedging Obligations, the Existing Senior Notes Obligations, the RAI Senior Notes Obligations and the RJRTH Intercompany Note Obligations include all interest that accrues after the commencement of any case, proceeding or other action relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding of any Assignor at the rate provided for in the respective Secured Debt Agreements governing the same, whether or not a claim for post-petition interest is allowed in any such case, proceeding or other action.

17. Effectiveness of Acknowledgements.
